  • Abstract: A nonlinear recurrence similar to the Fibonacci numbers (quadratic rabbits!) leads to some interesting results which are proved with ANALYSIS and ESTIMATION and not with COUNTING. The numbers in the title are a result of this work, and they are new real numbers (not known to such resources as the Inverse Symbolic Calculator). I only can give one talk. If you have ever heard me talk before, then you will have heard this talk. Please do not get confused and hope to obtain further insight from me.
